Bùth Chomhairle nan Leabhraichean, 32 Sràid Achadh a’ Mhansa
Bidh Comhairle nan Leabhraichean ann an co-bhonn le Comunn Uibhist is Bharraigh Ghlaschu ann an cuideachd Peigi Imlach, nighean Dòmhnaill Ghilleasbuig Sorcha nach maireann. Bha Dòmhnall còrr is 80 bliadhn’ a dh’aois nuair a sgrìobh e eachdraidh a bheatha agus ghabh Peigi uallach airson sgrìobhaidhean a h-athair a chur an clò anns an leabhar inntinneach, From Small Lochs to Great Lakes.
Feuch gum bi sibh cuide rinn airson èisteachd ri Peigi a’ bruidhinn mu h-athair – saighdear òg a thàinig tron Chiad Chogadh, seòladair sònraichte a sheòl gu taobh eile an t-saoghail agus croitear à Uibhist a Deas. Bidh fàilte romhaibh!

7.00pm-8.00pm
Gaelic Bookshop – Mansfield Street, Glasgow
The Gaelic Books Council and the Uist and Barra (Glasgow) Association will be joined by Peggy Imlach, daughter of the late Donald MacDonald. Donald was over 80 when he meticulously handwrote his life story and Peggy took on the task of publishing her father’s story in a remarkable book, From Small Lochs to Great Lakes.
Make sure you join us to listen to Peggy talk of her father – a young soldier who survived the First World War, a remarkable sailor who sailed the Great Lakes of Canada, and a crofter from South Uist. All welcome!
